Here are some immature but gratifying stunts I did: About 2 months before I had to move, (military spouse) I showed up about half hour to 45 minutes late almost every day. I didn't show up on a Saturday. I used my personal days and burned through my vacation days. Sometimes after eating mexican food for lunch, I would fart in the cars just before giving them to the customers (really effective in very hot weather because then the customers had to roll down their windows!) I put an opened can of tuna fish in my branch managers office desk. I put non-smoking customers in unprepped smoked filled cars. I quit cash-qualifying customers altogether because they werent worth my effort. I quit collecting the fuel fee, which led to fireworks when they returned the cars to find out they "owed money".
I "accidentally soaked" the bitchy area HR rep lady while prepping a car (I could see right through that wet blouse!)
At an ERAC luncheon, I told a couple of State Farm Adjusters in an insulting manner that their client's concerns really didn't matter because they were "too pushy".
And before I left, I threw away all of the reservations for customers with specific requests (vans, cadillacs, trucks ect) and then mis-filed all the rest.
On my last day I took a few calls and answered as the BM (he was playing golf yet again with the "higher ups") quoting dirt cheap rates on everything for reservations but never filled anything out. I laughed out loud in a customers face and wished him good luck when he "demanded a new Maxima for his rental because he drove a 1987 Maxima" (when his insurance ALLSTATE would only pay $18.50 a day). I chitted out a two hour lunch to the tune of $66.00 under sales calls. My very last customer called at around 2 minutes before closing (see my other post on this one) but I never picked her up.
So you see you can have just a little fun before you leave. Good Luck to those who have left and are trying to leave-IF YOU PUT UP WITH ERAC, YOU WILL CERTAINLY SUCCEED IN ANYTHING YOU DO AFTER ERAC |
You know, I have to applaud you...I don't give a shit what anyone else says, that is awesome. Considering all the cars I washed, all the hours I worked, all the shit I put up with, all the times my lot was empty with 15 reservations and the response I got from area mangers and Group rental managers was "I don't know what to tell you--there aren't any cars anywhere", and last but not least, NO PAY RAISE! Fuck 'em, man. You're awesome!!!!
